Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor who was found dead in a mysterious condition in her hotel room in Delhi has been cremated. Pushkar's body has been handed over to her husband Shashi Tharoor who is Union Minister for State for Human Resource and Development after post-mortem.

Before handing over the body, Sunanda's post-mortem was conducted by a 3-member team of AIIMS doctors. The entire post-mortem was video graphed and photo graphed to maintain transparency.

The doctor Sudhir Gupta who conducted the autopsy said to media that the post-mortem was done keeping the angle of sudden unnatural death in focus.

" We will take another two days at least to finalise our conclusion in the case of Sunanda Pushkar's death. We focused the angle of sudden unnatural death. There were injury marks over the body. But we can't say right now that the death has any relation with those injuries," said Dr. Sudhi Gupta.

Meanwhile Shashi Tharoor have been also discharged from the AIIMS, after treatment of chest pain he complained of.

Earlier Union Minister Shashi Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushakar was found dead in Hotel Leela in New Delhi around 8PM on January 17th, 2014. Initial reports suggest no foul play and Police is suspecting it either a case of suicide or a natural death. However, a confirmation will come only after the pending post mortem.

Reportedly Tharoor after returning from the AICC meeting yesterday to the hotel where he and Sunanda were staying, didn’t get any response from his wife who was in the hotel's room number 345. Sunanda’s body was found lying on the bed after Tharoor opened the door with the help of the hotel staff.

Tharoor and Pushkar had been staying in the Hotel due to some ongoing renovation work at their official residence. PRO of Delhi Police Rajan Bhagat confirmed that since Sunanda and Sashi Tharoor’s marriage have not completed 7 years, so according to Section 176 of IPC, an SDM will be conducting further investigations on the case.
